Red Wings' Patrick Kane's reputation tarnished by his own teammate

«I like it here,» Perron said. «It's a pretty special place. This building was the best this year. Every single comeback we had, there was a reason we had them. We just felt their support, the fans were incredible, the city in general. For me and my family, we really enjoy it here. There's no reason at this point to think of anywhere else. I hope it works out. It just feels a little bit more like home in terms of the temperature, the four seasons we have here,» he said. «Maybe because my kids get older and start making roots with friends. It's almost like I don't play for myself anymore, you play for your family and kids. I play through them, what their experience is.»

«This guy's been around for a long time,» Yzerman said. «He's a Stanley Cup champion (with St. Louis in 2019). He can handle the pressure; he actually thrives on it. He loves the challenge; he is a tremendous leader. I see that on the ice. He's a take-charge guy and the moment's not too big for him. He competes hard, he's determined, and he's a real professional. He has a real positive impact on our team.»
